Plantation Rum ORIGINAL DARK Barbados & Jamaica is a characterful blended rum from Barbados and Jamaica, with an alcohol content of 40 per cent, available in a 0.7-litre bottle. This blend combines different styles of rum from two Caribbean countries with a rich heritage. The rums from Barbados contribute a balanced, rounder base character to the blend, whilst the components from Jamaica provide additional intensity and the typically expressive island style. This careful blending results in a dark rum that reflects both the character of its Caribbean origins and the Plantation house style. The brand is now known as Planteray, with Original Dark being one of the established expressions in the portfolio.

Plantation Original Dark Rum was designed specifically as a versatile rum for the cocktail and bar scene. Its combination of different Caribbean rum varieties offers sufficient intensity to hold its own even against stronger cocktail ingredients. At the same time, this dark rum from Barbados and Jamaica is also ideal for simple enjoyment over ice. Original Dark is a versatile base, particularly for classic tiki cocktails, rum long drinks and tropical drinks, combining the more approachable Barbados style with the bolder character of Jamaican rums.
